Dear Family and Friends
Happy new year! 2014 came too quick if you ask me.
The past couple of weeks have been kinda tough, just with Christmas and then the day of the 3 Kings (they celebrate them both, Christmas is more of just get with your family and eat, and then January 6
the 3 Kings come to your house and drop off presents (mysteriously just
like Santa Clause)). So there are a lot of tourists here, people who
are only gonna be here for a couple more days, and then our own
investigators are pretty busy and its hard to meet with them. But, it´ll
get better from here.
So first piece of good news is that I´m staying here for another
transfer!! Elder Wilson and I just stayed the same, but Elder Christensen just got shipped off to Cuence (back in the peninsula) this
morning. It was pretty sad, just realizing that it all really does come
to an end. I´m still in my first area, haven´t had to really say goodbye
yet other than a couple of missionaries. I´m not looking forward to
that day haha.
Funny story for you all--We were parking in the church parking lot
the other day and Elder Christensen barely hit the curb as he was
turning a U, and immediately heard the distinct hissing sound. Yep, we
popped the tire. After we found out we didn´t have the right size of
crow bar, we spend literally a couple hours looking all over the car--taking everything out. Finally after a long time we some how figured it
out and got everything taken care of. I´ve got some pictures but this
dang computer is being stupid so we´ll see if I can send them.
The family of Pablo, Pilar and Luis is doing great, they all came to
church! It's so funny becuase Pilar just loves the church and all the
members. I don´t know if you guys know, but Luis is a professor of art
or something like that at the university here. He has a complete studio
behind their house filled with canvases, paint, books, and some
instruments. So we scheduled a day where we can go by and paint with him
(I´m stoked!) and then we´ll be able to talk to and focus on him.
Fani is doing alright, she found a job which is super important
right now for her and Ivan, but she has to work almost everyday and
can´t come to church :( However, Ivan is working on getting his license
and when he gets that he´ll be able to drive her to work which would
give her enough time to go to church. I´m hoping they get it soon!
Don´t have much more to say, oh except for thanks for all of the
emails. Sorry I won´t have time to reply back to them today. Just know
you are all in my hearts and I´ll try my best next week :)
Love,
Elder Franson
